Construction work keeps Marietta growing, but it’s also one of the most dangerous industries. Whether you were injured on a residential build near Marietta Square, at a commercial site off Cobb Parkway, or on a roadway project near I-75, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits or additional damages through a third-party claim.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured construction workers and subcontractors throughout Cobb County get the compensation they need. We handle everything from filing your workers’ comp claim to pursuing negligent contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers when necessary.
Common Construction Accidents in Marietta
Construction sites are full of hazards, especially when safety protocols are ignored. We represent victims injured in accidents such as:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and rooftops
- Electrocution or arc flash burns
- Falling tools, debris, or materials
- Forklift or heavy machinery accidents
- Crane collapses or load drops
- Trench collapses or excavation injuries
- Equipment malfunctions and tool defects
Whether you were working on-site or passing through a marked construction zone, we’ll determine who’s responsible and hold them accountable.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Construction Accident?
You may have multiple paths to compensation, depending on the details of your accident:
Workers’ Compensation (No Fault)
If you were an employee, you likely qualify for workers’ comp benefits that cover:
- Medical treatment
- Lost wage benefits
- Disability compensation
- Mileage reimbursement
- Vocational rehabilitation
Third-Party Liability (Negligence-Based)
If someone other than your employer caused the accident (like a contractor, subcontractor, equipment supplier, or property owner), you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit for:
- Full lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Future medical care
- Punitive damages, in severe cases
We help you identify every potential source of recovery.
